Historical Horror

Write about a dark, supernatural event that takes place in a realistic historical era.

This prompt pushes you to juxtapose something fantastical or horrific with the factual rigidity of a real historical time period. You could explore how real people from that time would react to the supernatural events. Themes might include fear of the unknown, the effect of superstition and belief systems on mentality, and the contrast between historical fact and fictional horror.
